    About this audiobook

    A Powerful Story Set Against the Backdrop of Today's Israel

    Nothing in Abigail MacLeod's life as a wife, a mother, and a teacher has prepared her for what she will experience during her summer in Israel. At forty-two, her life is in chaos, even before she leaves home-her marriage is dissolving before her very eyes, her faith is in shambles. This pilgrimage to Israel was supposed to be a new beginning for her. But by the end of the first day, she is forced to board an Israeli jetliner in spit of a bomb threat, and watches helplessly as a kind, fatherly gentleman she befriended on the plane dies in her arms.

    This is a summer Abby will spend learning about archaeology, delving into the past. And it's a summer that will change her life in ways she never imagined.

      I enjoyed the information about the Israel/ Palestine conflict from an historical perspective in light of the war happening now.
    • 3/5
      One long sermon. More preach than storyline. It gets exhausting.
    • 5/5
      This one of the BEST books I`ve ever read. Very well written, and read. Clear plan of salvation given. I look forward to other books written by Lynn Austin. Keep up the good work!!!
    • 5/5
      I enjoyed the twist and turns throughout this book! A refreshing change not bombarded with "mushy romance!
    • 5/5
      Love all of Lynn Austin books but this is my new fav. Brought history of modern Israel to life,explained so history for me and developed the characters so we'll. But best part was the explanation and progress of the characters discovery of salvation. Can't recommend this enough.
    • 5/5
      I live hearing historical facts while I enjoy an interesting and exciting story. Great characters and suspense.
    • 5/5
      Excellent read! The way the author wove together three women's lives is remarkable. Loved the history throughout the book as well. A compelling read!
